The MSCI global emerging markets fell 2.7% in November due to monetary tightening in China, tensions on the Korean peninsula and the continuing European Union fiscal crisis. Despite this pullback, Citigroup’s global emerging markets equity strategist, Geoffrey Dennis stated in a research report that it is a healthy sign of long-running bull market and that such pullbacks are typical for a bull market. According to him, none of the causes of the November decline are long-term threats to emerging markets (EM).

Dennis ran the screener to identify stocks to ride the next wave of the bull market in two categories: laggards with attractive growth rates and valuations & dividend-payers with strong balance sheets and attractive valuations. He also identified some stocks that investors can sell at current levels due to unattractive valuations and/or poor earnings outlooks.
